Full details

This heavy-duty walk-in cage from Gardening Naturally is designed for gardeners seeking robust protection for their fruit and vegetable crops against birds and butterflies.

FAQs

What is the internal height of the cage?

The internal height of the Gardening Naturally Premium Walk-In Cage is 1.9m (approximately 6'3").

Do I need tools to assemble the cage?

Yes, an Allen key is included in the kit for assembly. You may also need a mallet or hammer to gently tap in the steel pegs.

Can I buy this cage without netting?

Yes, a 'Frame Only' option is available if you prefer to use your own netting material or already have suitable netting.

Are doors included with the cage?

No, doors are sold separately as a door kit. They are not included as standard with the cage.

What is the difference between Bird/Fruit Netting and Soft Butterfly Netting?

Bird/Fruit Netting has a 20mm mesh size, ideal for deterring birds while allowing pollinators. Soft Butterfly Netting has a finer 5mm x 7mm mesh, specifically designed to prevent cabbage white butterflies from laying eggs on brassicas, while maintaining good air circulation.

How do I secure the cage in windy conditions?

The cage comes with steel pegs for anchoring. For extra stability in particularly windy areas, it is recommended to use heavy-duty pipe clips, which can be purchased separately.

Can I get a custom-sized cage?

Yes, custom sizes are available. Please fill out the cage enquiry form, and allow up to three days for a response during peak times.

Troubleshooting

Cage frame feels unstable

Ensure all steel connectors are tightened securely. If in a windy location, use the provided steel pegs to firmly anchor the frame into the ground. Consider purchasing heavy-duty pipe clips for extra stability.

Netting is difficult to attach

Ensure the netting is oriented correctly and pull it taut before securing with the net clamps. Adjust the position of the clamps along the tubing for a snug fit.

Aluminium tubing is bent

Minor bends can sometimes be straightened carefully by hand or with gentle pressure. For significant damage, contact customer support for potential replacement parts.

Missing components

Check the packaging thoroughly. If components are genuinely missing, contact Gardening Naturally customer support with your order details and a list of the missing items.
